Windrose: If you can’t find the buyer for the People of Tortuga, it’s because he’s not on Tortuga

Players in the survival game Windrose can sell their provisions and medicine to the People of Tortuga faction, but the buyer is located on a different island. To find the buyer, players should sail near Tortuga and look for the "Brethren of the Coast Waters." Completing the quest "Glorious Hunters" leads to the head of the Buccaneers, marking the buyer's island on the map. Players must first deliver 50 bags of gunpowder to a character named Henri, then deliver tanned hides to Charlie Sharpe, which reveals the buyer's location. Upon reaching the buyer's island, players can sell their items and encounter another bounty agent, as well as a cook named Black Axel who can craft potions.

Slay the Spire 2 patch notes arrive for all, meaning an easier early game but harder infinites

The latest patch for Slay the Spire 2 has transitioned from beta to the main game, introducing several enhancements. Players can now experience improved map generation, a more forgiving Act One, and five new Neow relics: Hefty Tablet, Neow's Talisman, Phial Holster, Winged Boots, and Neow's Bones. Elite enemies appear one floor later, and rebalancing has adjusted foes like the Skulking Colony and Byrdonis. The Act Three boss, Doormaker, has been redesigned with a unique setup and three phases: Hunger, Scrutiny, and Grasp. All five classes have been rebalanced, with new cards introduced, such as Not Yet, Blade of Ink, Regent's Arsenal, and Borrowed Time. Shop relic prices have been reduced, and gold-generating relics are no longer available for purchase. Ascension level six now features 'Inflation,' increasing card removal costs. The patch also includes new art, visual effects, a 'Phobia mode,' and Badges for achievements. Achievements and epochs cannot be unlocked during daily and custom runs, and the main and beta branches will maintain separate records. The patch 0.103.2 is now live for all versions of the game.

How to get clay in Windrose

Clay is a crucial resource in Windrose for crafting clay bottles for potions. It can be found in large deposits of muddy rock scattered across the terrain, which are exposed and easy to identify. Clearing a single deposit yields about 50-60 chunks of clay. A pickaxe is necessary for harvesting clay, with recipes for a Stone Pickaxe requiring 3 Stone and 3 Wood, and a Copper Pickaxe requiring 1 Bronze Ingot and 5 Wood. Upgrading tools does not affect yield but can speed up the harvesting process. Clay deposits respawn every few in-game days, and crafting a clay bottle requires one chunk of clay, but the bottles are not reusable. Resources can deplete quickly, especially when dealing with wild boars.

Co-op pirate survival game Windrose: should you grab it in early access?

Windrose is a co-op pirate survival game that combines base-building, ship-to-ship combat, and open-world exploration. Players begin the game shipwrecked on a desolate island after an encounter with Blackbeard, where they gather resources, craft a base, repair their ship, and rescue their crew. Key features include: - Hunger and thirst mechanics, where food buffs attributes but does not cause death from starvation. - Weather effects present, but no negative impacts observed. - Health is managed through a single meter, with potions and bandages for healing. - Only online co-op is available; no PvP. - PvE interactions with animals, zombies, and enemy pirates. - Crafting system that pulls from nearby storage chests. - Base-building similar to Palworld's system. - Custom settings for health and damage adjustments. - Limited farming options currently available. - No NPC companions, but players can hire NPCs to assist at crafting stations. - Death results in dropping raw resources but retaining crafted items. - Crew members sing sea shanties during voyages. - Shared progress allows joining friends' games. Fishing is not yet implemented, but planned for future updates. The ship-to-ship combat is engaging, while melee combat can feel repetitive. Windrose is expected to remain in early access for one to three years, with about half of the planned content currently available. The game is priced reasonably, with a 10% discount at launch, but players should anticipate a wait for additional content. Performance is generally stable, though there are occasional slowdowns.
